INGERsoLL ON WHIsKEY.

A few days ago Colonel Bob In.
gersoll sent an old friend a very old
jug Of whiskey. With it were the
following lines in The Coloners WELL

81 send you some Of the most
wonderful whiskeyi that ever drove
skeleton from a feast or painted
landscapes in the brain of man. 1t
is the mingled souls of wheat and
corn. In it you will find the sun
shine and the shadow that chased
each other over the billowy fields,
the breath of June, the carol Of the
lark, the dews of night, the. wealth
of summer and autumn's rich con-
tent, all golden with imprisoned
light. Drink it, and ,yon will hear
the voice Of men andsmaidens sing
ing the "Haryest Houe,n mingled
with the laughter Of children. Drink
it and you will teel within your
blood the star led dawns, the dreamy,
tawny dnsks of many perfect days.
For forty years this liquid joy has
been within the happy slaves of oak,
longing to touch the lips of man."

HONOR TO THE. HEROES.

No occasion is more fragrant with
patriotic impulses, and interesting
"reminiscences, and manly senti.
ments than Decoration Day. 1t re.
calls the heroes Of tremendous
struggle, which is now SO happily
ended that old foes. have already
become old friends. It revives the
memories of the bravery and the
manhood Of these soldiers, who have
found al everlasting peace. 1t is
fitting that their living comrades
should strew flowers on their graves,
and speak OF their virtues and their
yalor, for in this way not only is "a
tribute of love and respect paid to
the dead, but a lesson of patriotism
and duty is taught to the genera
tions of the present and of the
future. ., +. 4.s51,a
| UNIQUE MEMORIAL SERVICE
took place at the church Of the
Paulist Fathers, corner of Ninth
avenue and West Slxtieth street,
New York. For the first time mem
orial service was held in that city in
Catholic church, under the auspices
of Grand Army post. The pastor
of the church, Rev. Walter Elliott, is
himself veteran, having entered
the army as private IN an Ohio
regiment, and served through most
of the war. Another of the Paulists
at this church, and who assisted at
the services tonight, was Father
Thomas V. Robinson, also veteran,
but one who fought on the other
side, aud, strangely enough, the two
priests who tonight stood side by
side at the altar we're twenty-five
years ago opposed to each other on
the battle field. A third priest of
the church is Rev. George Desbon,
also veteran of the Union, army,
and whoiwas at West Point with
Gen.. Grant, so that the church OF
the Paulist Father is, in its way, a
very good example OF the church

Trouble Ahead.

When the appetite fails, and sleep grows
restless and undressing, there is trouble
ahead. The digestive organs. when healthy.
crave food, the nervous system, when vigorous
and tranquil, gives its possessor no uneasiness
at night. A tonic. to be effective, should not
be mere appetizer, nor are the nerves to be
strengthened and soothed by the unaided ac-
ton of o sedative or narcotic. What Is re-
quired is medicine which invigorates the
stomach, and promotes assimilation of food
by the system. by which means the nervous
system, as well as other parts of the physical
organism, are strengthened. These are the
effects of HOstetters Stomach Bitters, "a medi-
cine whose reputation is founded firmly in
public confidence. and which physicians COM
mend for its tonic. anti-bilious and other
properties. 1t Is used with the best results in
fever and ague, rheumatism. kidney and uter-
inc weakness, and other maladles.

Jacob Leggett was to have been
hung at Reidsville, Ga, last week,
for the murder of his wife. Just as
the Sheriff raised his hand to cut the
rope, a reprieve arrived from the
Governor. The doomed man was so
dazed that he could hardly under
stand what had happened. After
he realized what had happened he
fell upon his knees and thanked
God and his attorney. The scene
was most excitable. and was wit
messed by crowds of people who had
gathered for the hanging, the first
one at that place in so years.

There's not a heath, however rude.
But hath some little flower
To brighten up its solitude,
And scent the evening hour.
There's not heart, however cast
By grief and sorrow down,
But hath some memory of the past
To love and call its own.

MR.. FAULKNER TALKS.

MARTINsBURG, w. VA, May 20.
in noticing the absence of Hon. i.
Boyd Faulkner from the serenade
made up for Gettinger, az few even.
ings ago, your correspondent may
have created the impression that
Mr.. Faulkner was actuated from
motives of jealousy or disappoint-
ment. Perhaps the secret motive
prompting his absence dates to the
time when Mr.. Faulkner and Mr..
Gettinger were candidates for nom-
ination for the State Senate in 1878,
when Mr.. Faulkner routed Mr.. Get
finger, not leaving him delegate
in the town.. In order that no false
conclusion may. be drawn from my
dispatch, saw Mr.. Faulkner at his
Office this morning and propounded
the following question: "Did You
read the article from Martinsburg in
yesterdays Intelligencer, criticising
you because you were not present at
Gettinger's serenade ~ 9dt
ayes, my attention was called to
the article from which the inference
drawn is that my absence was oc-
casioned because of the active sup
port given to my brother recently
elected United States Senator. This,
however, is all a mistake. Whilst
it is true that I was not present it is
equally true that I knew nothing oil
such an intention upon the part Of
Gettinger's friends, except mere
rumor, until / heard the music and
saw the crowd moving on its way
toward his residence. Why my
absence should have been specially
noticed seems rather remarkable
when one reflects that / was one OF
a hundred of others who we're not
there. gs.5f ei ~ 4e
1t would be not only strange but
very unnatural in me to find fault
with Gettinger for supporting my
brother, and more strangely so when
| myself was not a candidate for the
position. / so wrote Senator Unger
who is a warm personal and politi
cal friend, some time preceding the
extra session of the Legislature. He
has sent me within the last few days
that letter, which fully explains my
position on the Senatorial question,
with the request that [ permit it te
be published. This is the letter, and
if you think proper you have my
consent to its publication. I would
further say that the subject of my
candidacy was never referred to al
any time or in any way between
Gettinger and myself" na ~.

the Senatorial question may be un'
derstood l here quote the letter re-
ferred to in the above interview:

remark in his interview that at no
time and in no manner did be refer

subject was with Senator from an

The following from the Lansing
Journal we earnestly commend to the
careful attention of the voters in Shi-
awassee county. BY the way the
Journal is live Democrat paper, but
it says: "This talk that the State will
have to pay for the losses resulting to
the brewers and saloon.keepers from
the adoption of the prohibitory
amendment, is all bosh. There is no
power on earth TO compel State to
pay anything il doesn't want to pay.
OF course the Legislature would have
the power to pass a law reimbursing
the liquor men, but then no Legisla-
ture would ever dare exercise it. There
is consequently not the slightest dan.
ger of the present benefciaries of the
liquor traffic being able to recoup
their impending losses from the State
treasury. That is an utter impossi-
biIity."

There should be but one opinion
as to the amendment to be voted on
this spring, proposing to give the
State officers salaries more nearly in
accord with the requirements and
responsibilities of those Offices. Mich
igan bears the reproach of paying her
officers the poorest salaries paid by
any State in the Union. Three other
states, New Hampshire, Vermont
and Rhode Island, pay their Governor
the same salary that Michigan pays
hers, but the population of all these
states combined Is less than half that
Of Michigan. Michigan is able to pay
her servants respectable wages. The
effect of carrying the proposed amend
ment into effect will be only about
two cents on each one thousand dol
lars Of taxable property. Every voter
in the State should cast ballot on
the 18th of April for the salaries
